MODERATORS
England had to utilize military force to control India to get the spices, to make the blandest food on the planet.
What's that old saying?
British women and British food made British sailors the best in the world.
Never tried English mustard or fresh horseradish sauce then?
French mustard is better.
Dijon is nice, but not as strong as English
They sold the spices to other nations for major profit to enrich themselves. They never intended to eat said spices.
That's what the Portuguese and the Dutch did. By the time the British finally defeated the Dutch in... like... the seventh war, the spice trade was no longer the most profitable. It was then the Atlantic Triangle... or whatever it was called.
Curry is practically the national dish in the UK now and a few variants were even invented there
What do you think tea is made of?
Leaves.
